A rough, hand-drawn roman with compact proportions and visibly irregular contours. Strokes show high contrast with abrupt thick–thin changes and brush-like terminals, while edges are intentionally chipped and blotchy, creating a worn print/ink-stamp texture. Letterforms are mostly upright and simply constructed, with slightly inconsistent curves and joins that add a casual, handmade rhythm. Spacing reads somewhat uneven and the texture is present inside counters as well as along outer outlines, giving lines of text a lively, mottled color.
Best suited for display settings where texture is an asset: posters, album/cover art, event flyers, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It works well for short headlines, pull quotes, and branding accents where a handmade, worn-print feel is desired.
The overall tone feels crafty and mischievous—like DIY posters, zines, or imperfect screen prints. Its distressed texture adds grit and nostalgia while the friendly, rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
Likely designed to emulate imperfect hand-inked lettering and aged printing, combining a straightforward roman skeleton with deliberate distressing. The goal appears to be an expressive, tactile look that reads quickly while retaining a gritty, crafted surface.
In longer text, the persistent speckling and broken edges create strong personality but also a busier texture, especially at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same rough, inked treatment and maintain the font’s informal, handmade character.
